Dr. Peter G. Brown is a Professor of Geography at McGill University. In this discussion he calls out important points from his book, co-authored by with Geoffrey Garver, "Right Relationship: Buildng a Whole Earth Economy. Our current economic system—which assumes endless growth and limitless

north and south. Trying to fix problems piecemeal is not the solution.
We need a comprehensive new vision of an economy that can serve people
and all of lifes commonwealth.
